Hello list, I am wondering if anyone here knows more about a historic home in Campbell Co., Va. previously owned by John Ward c.1820's. I am searching for any drawings/images of the place commonly known as "The Mansion" among then-locals. John Ward also owned hundreds of acres in neighboring Pittsylvania Co. Va. that he named Ward's Springs, a.k.a. Sulpher Springs. He also ran a place called Ward's Tavern on his land where the current town of Gretna now sits, a few miles north of Chatham. I am not sure which city "The Mansion" (as the home was called) in Campbell Co. was located, that is the obstacle I am facing trying to locate it. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide, or suggestions you can point me to. Thanks, April. --------------------------------- The fish are biting.

I saw and read this article myself, but do not understand how you can trace DNA back generations, when the legal system has not been doing it for that many years themselves.??!! The article turned my stomach, and I do not approve of doing genealogy this way, personally I thought that the individuals thoughts, actions and behavior were rather on both the illegal side, and rather foolish, self-centered and filled self pride. However, then again I do not understand seeking her families genealogy this way. I enjoy doing it the old way, although I often want to pull my hair out when I fine that I have to start over again. A hobby is a hobby, and I have become a family historian because of my families desire to know their genealogical heritage. I also have found that while doing all four of my grandparents genealogy that I have learned more about American History and World History than I ever dreamed existed. I would not change my methods of search, hunt, and discovery in almost any way I have met through Cyberspace so many of my cousins and other relatives that I would not have met otherwise, and this alone is a great treasure to me. Part of my family stayed in the northern states and my part of paternal side came south although they later went back north, then part of them returned to Texas and other states close by. To me genealogy is much more than just names, dates and places. It is the getting a somewhat idea of what my ancestors suffered in helping to build this wonderful country and came to while America while it was still just colonies. They have fought and some have died to defend this country that I am proud to call home (although I have now discovered more of the good, bad and ugly about it), but I will still stand up and fight to keep it as it is and hopefully help improve it for my grandchildren and their grandchildren who will sooner or later take their stand as our nation's future leaders. I would not have gained a new insight and pride in this country or my family if I had not searched out my heritage with blood, sweat and tears. I have used the Internet for a starting place, then went to the Archives to try and prove or disprove what I found on the WWW. I think that many of the old ways of doing things are much better than the new and so called improved methods, but that is simply my opinion. However, this is a free country filled with a variety of people and we have the right to seek our own ways and methods as long as they are legal. We have the right to criticize, but we do not have the right to condemn others for their legal methods. As far as the article mentioned, it is my opinion that the individual became a stalker for their own needs and wants, which is to me illegal. However, that is my opinion and that does not make the other person wrong and me correct. If the person they were stalking decides they want to take action against them that is their right too. For me progress is not progress or legal when it is done improperly, but that is simply my opinion. Now lets get back to the business at hand, and discover our genealogy, and hopefully meet more of our previously unknown relatives. I also wish to state that I have made new friends while searching my genealogy, an while I may not meet them personally, they are very precious to me, and would like to meet them.

Sorry, the closest I can get is one James Jones, s/o Phillip Jones m _ Watkins. She was the d/o William Watkins (b. 1690 VA - maybe King & Queen Co VA d. 1784 Charlotte Co VA) m Martha Herndon. A Grandson, though one of their daughters who married Phillip Jones, is named in the will of William Watkins in 1784, so too early to be your James Jones, I think. Happy digging.

Can you tell me which Jones' family. I have some early ones,, who end up, by later 1700's in and around Amelia or Nottoway Co VA. Oddly, while it doesn't seem like a name associated with "Court" in England, they were, although many fled to the Netherlands, Belgium and France when Catholicism returned to the throne in England as they had become Puritans or Quakers or had lost favor with the family in charge at the time. You can find them in Tudor England in the 1400's and 1500's, without much problem, and then they get harder. Then again, it wasn't an uncommon name among the non "noble" families either. -----Original Message----- From: varoots-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:varoots-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of EllieSS@aol.com Sent: Friday, April 06, 2007 11:50 PM To: varoots@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [VAROOTS] Huguenot Book In a message dated 4/6/2007 9:01:55 P.M.

I couldn't find the article from the link so what follows might not connect with what was in the article. I just want to say that I've been doing genalogy for 35 years the old way and I agree with everything that's been said regarding the joys and hassles of doing it that way. I also think the DNA opportunities are exciting. A distant relative of my husband's has, through the internet, connected with enough others of the same surname, both in America and in Ireland, to get a good idea of the origins of the family in Ireland. In many cases, when the paper trail has died out, this can be the only way to try to "get across the pond." I had my mtDNA done just for the fun of it. I learned that there were 1) there were no connections between me and anyone in their database—no surprises there—and 2) my matriarchal line has been in northern Europe for a l-o-n-g time. I'm hoping to get one of my relatives and a couple of other friends of the same surname to do the DNA test to see if they might be related. The friends are also genealogists, so I would definitely not be "stalking strangers."

Hello Liz and All - I am sure some of you will be whistling a different tune if you had the whole / "rest of the story" at hand :) it is legal and NOT done improperly and/or deceitfully ... read beyond the whimsical antics of those interviewed in that entertaining article :) In order to appreciate this semi new DNA tool "genetic genealogy" one has to know how to use it and how it works :) Eventually we ALL run into that proverbial block wall in our genealogical research, no matter which lineage you are trying to document ... the paper trail eventually runs dry due to nature, wars and other man made disasters ... it's just a fact :( your eventually not going to find enough [if any] proof to prove a connection some where along the line from one generation to the next ... The NY Times article [due to print space and the copy editors attempt to make the story sensational and SELL more papers] didn't tell the whole story and cut key info out ... which was not entirely the reporters fault alone "/ There is a newspaper in central California that ran the same story with a different caption, along with additional info that the NYTimes left out :) Several of the people who were interviewed for this article, HAVE posted rebuttals on Dick Eastman's blog ... if anyone cares to check them out before passing further condemnation on the reported actions portrayed in that article :) http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2007/04/extreme_genealo.html note that I am not posting this reply here to change anyone's mind ... but more for the benefit of those who might be interested in this NEW avenue of research / a companion tool to add to ones genealogical toolbox :) it falls into that same category for those who love to use a soundex and those stuck on one specific spelling .... each tailors / shortens their families heritage according to what they want to present to the next generation :) ----------------------------------------------------------------- what follows is a brief over view of DNA testing for those interested ... ----------------------------------------------------------------- With DNA testing, the test results of two individuals when compared, will tell if they are related ... the test and results will NOT identify a specific individual, but rather a whole group of people who are related ... for instance the Y-DNA which "only" males have, is pass from father to son, generation after generation with slight mutations every so often ... so knowing that [I will use myself in this example] ... me, my son, my brother, his sons, my father, his brothers, their sons, my paternal grandfather, his brothers, their sons, and so on back up the "direct" male lineage ... we will all "most likely" have the exact same Y-DNA test results :) I say most likely, as I had mentioned the "slight mutations" above ... once a mutation occurs, all descendants on down from where it occurred [and each time it occurs], will carry that same mutation, which is an excellent indication of separate branch(es) of that family :) Another reason for test results to not match exactly [not referring to just "slight mutations" here] ... when the test results of two individuals that normally would have assumed would have matched ... this is an indication of one of several events that are referred to as NPE's [non-paternal-experiences] of those there might have been an adoption [known or not / recorded or not] or maybe an out of wedlock birth [he's not your daddy] ... none of these have to be something that happened recently, and doesn't imply that great great granny was a hussy ... it could have been recent or several generations ago, and we might never learn what the situation was, just that something occurred some where along the li! ne :) Note: if you know of and/or suspect there could be a NPE situation and you would rather not know, or not have it known, this sort of testing IS NOT for you ... what I refer to as "duct-tape genealogy" mistakenly latching your documented lineage onto the wrong individual some where along the line, it will show up when your test results don't come close to matching others who claim to be descendants of a same common ancestor as you claim also ... or visa versa :) The Y-DNA is the more popular testing being used in genetic genealogy as it is easier to follow, and follows the direct male line [typically represented by a specific surname usually] ... for a picture example of this, look at your pedigree chart ... if number one is a male, numbers 2, 4, 8, 16 and so forth on that direct unbroken male lineage, will all have the exact same Y-DNA ... all male cousin's and uncles branching off of any of those generations on back, will also have the exact same Y-DNA :) The other DNA testing that's being used in genetic genealogy, is the mtDNA, "both" males and females have this ... we get it from our mother, BUT only the female children pass it onto the next generation ... it's a bit harder to use in finding connections with other people, as the female's surname usually changes with each subsequent generation coming down through the generations ... for a visual of this, again looking at ones pedigree chart, number one [no matter if male or female] along with numbers 3, 7, 15, 31 and so on back up the "direct" female lineage will all have the exact same mtDNA ... and as will any Aunt's and their children branching off of those generations on back :) also note that the mutations that might occur in the mtDNA happen less frequently than they do in the Y-DNA ... This DNA testing will not work alone by it's self ... as it will not tell you exactly how your related to another matching genetic cousin ... we still need to pursue the old fashion research methods :) but through this type of testing one will be able to tell "IF" they are researching the correct lineage ... those that you have a match with, ARE going to have a common ancestor somewhere back up the family tree with you :) Once those matches are discovered, you can began to compare research notes with those new cousins ... you or they just may have more info, enabling the other to get beyond their road block :) and possibly your ticket getting back across the pond too ! Now note in the two examples I used, to show the path the Y-DNA / mtDNA took to get down to you ... your wondering what about those ancestors in the middle of the pedigree chart ? ? ? for those, you will need to find / locate a specific person who falls into the right "chain of command" to be tested :) say you were interested in DNA results of number 12, your mothers paternal grandfather [Y-DNA] ... any one of these likely candidates can be tested, your mothers father, one of your mothers brothers, one of their sons, a brother of your mothers father or one of their sons and so on ... a direct unbroken "male" line back to the individual who you are interested in :) Now say it was the wife of that maternal great grandfather number 13, that you were interested in ... likely candidates would be your mothers father, any one of "his" siblings, any one of your mothers fathers "sisters children" ... males have the mtDNA of their mother, but do not pass it on to any of their children ... it would need to be a direct unbroken female lineage down to the person who is being tested [no hop-scotching back and forth between the male and female ancestors] ... Those who want to use this DNA testing to prove/ verify Native American ancestry ... this sort of DNA testing used for genetic genealogy, will only indicate "IF" it is on the DIRECT line ... i.e. if your a male, and it's your fathers mothers father, who is the purported NA ... this great grandfathers Y-DNA did not get passed onto your fathers mother :( like wise if it was your mothers fathers mother who was the NA ... her mtDNA "did" get passed onto your mothers "father" BUT your mother did NOT get the mtDNA from her father, but rather from her own mother ... There is a test called Autosomal DNA testing [not typically used for genetic genealogy], that might indicate if you have Native American ancestry and what the percentage might be, but it will not tell you from which ancestor it came from ... and it has been noted, that this type of test is NOT very reliable ... as two biological siblings [with exact same parents] can both be tested and not come up with the exact same percentages of Native American / African / Asian and/or European .... as each other :( Now why is the autosomal DNA test not very reliable ? and the Y-DNA and mtDNA is reliable :) the YDNA and mtDNA material does not recombine ... they are what they are when passed on and basically if the Y is present, the child is going to be a boy, if the Y is not present then the child is going to be a girl ... the rest of the gene material does recombine, half coming from each parent and with each subsequent generation as new gene material is added to the mixture, the gene material from previous generations get's watered down ...
